What a roller coaster ride the last few days have been. Not a good idea to lose your wallet a few days before you depart for overseas... grrrr However, it has been found. Thanks mainly to the power of trust and a good friend to help you look for it. Thanks Jan for caring enough to know how I would be feeling and puting in every effort to help me. Thanks too to Mum and Pete. Anyway, all good now. Just one more thing; always have a spare set of prescription lens glasses if you need them for reading.

It's Easter Sunday and here I sit all rugged up with a rotten cold or something. So much to do to prepare and I can't bring myself to even get out of this chair. But on the bright side, I'd rather be sick now and get it over with hah! Counting down now, it's coming faster every day... just forty something days to go!... read more
